Es 1953 y Kilian abandona la nieve de la montana de Huesca para iniciar junto a su hermano, Jacobo, el viaje de ida hacia una tierra desconocida, lejana y exotica, la isla de Fernando Poo. En las entranas de este territorio exuberante y seductor, le espera su padre, un veterano de la finca Sampaka, el lugar donde se cultiva y tuesta uno de los mejores cacaos del mundo. En esa tierra eternamente verde, calida y voluptuosa, los jovenes hermanos descubren la ligereza de la vida social de la colonia en comparacion con una Espana encorsetada y gris; comparten el duro trabajo necesario para conseguir el cacao perfecto de la finca Sampaka; aprenden las diferencias y similitudes culturales entre coloniales y nativos; y conocen el significado de la amistad, la pasion, el amor y el odio. Pero uno de ellos cruzara una linea prohibida e invisible y se enamorara perdidamente de una africana. Su amor por ella, enmarcado en unas complejas circunstancias historicas, y el especial vinculo que se crea entre el colono y los oriundos de la isla transformaran la relacion de los hermanos, cambiaran el curso de sus vidas y seran el origen de un secreto cuyas consecuencias alcanzaran el presente.
